Glucose is the sugar produced during photosynthesis. It is a simple carbohydrate that serves as the primary source of energy for the plant and is also used as a building block for more complex carbohydrates like starch.
Sugar is a broad term that refers to a group of carbohydrates, including simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Glucose is a type of sugar that is the main source of energy for the body's cells and is found in many foods. So, all glucose is sugar, but not all sugar is glucose.
Glucose is a sugar molecule. Much like what glucose does for your body, plants metabolize glucose to create CO2 water and energy. respiration: H20+C6H12O6=>H20+CO2+ATP(energy)
The products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Glucose is used as an energy source by the plant for growth, reproduction, and maintenance. Some of the oxygen produced is used by the plant for respiration, while the rest is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct.
Photosynthesis involves the transformation of light energy into chemical energy.
In the light reactions of photosynthesis, energy from sunlight becomes stored as chemical energy in the bonds of organic products. These products are glucose, a kind of sugar.
Photosynthesis uses light energy, water, and carbon dioxide to form glucose for the plant and oxygen as a waste product. 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Disregarding the light energy, coenzymes, and ATPs produced, the photosynthetic reaction is the exact reverse of the cellular respiration reaction.
Oxygen
They both use the same things but photosynthesis's products are what respiration starts with like respirtion needs oxgyen and glucose or sugar and photosynthesis is what give the oxgyen and glucose (sugar).
photosynthesis
No, glucose is not an animal byproduct. Glucose is a simple sugar that is produced by plants through the process of photosynthesis. It is a fundamental source of energy for all living organisms, including animals, plants, and microorganisms.
Plants use the glucose they produce through photosynthesis as a source of energy for growth and maintenance of cellular functions. Glucose is also used in the synthesis of other important molecules like cellulose, starch, and proteins.
